WHEREAs. The agricultural, la5orine. me-
chanical and other interests Of the country

The inventor of the roller skate is
said to have realized a million by
his invention. But the roller skate
had only a short run and is now al
most entirely played out. There
are dealers who have thousands of
pairs on hand which they despair of
ever getting rid of. Skates that
sold few years ago at 50 and So a
pair, can now be bought at S1.50 or
less, and there is a good profit on
them at that. One effect of the
skating mania was largely to in
crease the price of lockwood, and
this affected the wood engravers,
who had to use an inferior article
till the price went down.

Kissane,s Arrest Not ordered.

LITTLE Rock, May 28.-The report that tha
Governor of Arkansas had issued requisition
for tho arrest of William Kissane, telegraphed
specially to some of the papers last night, is un-
true. It was doubtless based a rumor that
efforts would be- made to bring him back to
which he forfeited when arrested for burning
the steamer Martha Washington. Two of the
bondsmen. L. Il. Hanley and Thomas Pearee,
still living, but up to a short time ago no
effort had been made to compel them to pay
Kissane's forfeited oond.

q large rattlesnake. The snake lay
motionless, apparently asleep. Delay

their surprise the snake moved. lifted
its head and gave every sign Of interest
in their conversation. When they re-
joined their party they remarked that
the snake understood English. The
whole party then returned to the cage.
The snake was apparently asleep again.
They conversed in French, but the snake
made no movement; then the ladies
began to speak in English. The snake
started. lifted its head. and showed the
same alertness as before at the sounds.

'.Who-who the deuce are youc The
man you threw, Joe Call. at your serv-
ice. sir!'
But the most remarkable feat which
Joe ever performed was on the occasion
Of an incidental wrestling match, which
occurred between himself and another
individual. during the late war, at
Plattsburgh. 1t seems that in tho
British camp was q celebrated English
bully whose massive strength and great
skill. both as pugilist and wrestler,
made him the terror as well as cham
pion of the army. Joe happening one
day to be in the English camp on some
errand or other. it was soon noised
about, and some of the officers by
chance getting wind OF it. and also
hearing Of his great strength. deter
mined to bring about match between
this Yankee Hercules and their bully.
Accordingly. having brought them to-
gcther. it was proposed to Joe that they
should have '.set to-" But Joe, who
was anything but quarrelsome. and
whose natural nobility Of character
placed him altogether above any thing
of the kind, peremptorily declined the
match. asserting at the same time that
he presumed the Englishman would
throw him with the greatest ease. as
he professed no skill whatever. To this
the bully sneeringly replied that he could
not only throw him. but any other cursed
Yankee they would bring on. This fling
at the Yankees nettled Joe At once. for.
although conscious of his own strength:
he cared little what taunts might be
applied to his own person, yet when his
nation came to be the object of such
remarks, his blood boiled. at once. and
he determined. right or wrong. to show
the sneeriug bully that Yankee prowess
was not to be lightly esteemed. Yield
ing to his patriotic feelings he immedi-
ately announced his willingness. and
they ''took hold" The first trial was
at what is termed '.arms' length" and
Joe soon found that his antagonist was
no ''carpet knight" to be handled in
the gingerly manner with which it had
been his wont to treat his opponents Of
the ring. At the first onset Joe was
brought to his knee. Immediately
springing up, he confessed himself
fairly filed" and then requested that
they should take a trial at back-hold.
To this the bully assented. We have
often heard Joe say that previous to
this time he never could discover any
difference in the strength Of men; but
that now he felt he must exert all his
power. Seizing hold of his antagonist
he bowed himself with all his strength
and squeezed the vain boa.ter to his
breast. The Englishman gave one
shrek, his arms loosed their hold. his
whole frame quivered. and when Joe
released him from his grasp the bully
fell. with eyes protruding and blood
gushing from his nostrils. dead at his
feet!-ChicGgo Herald.
